Hi, I read something in these digests that was gave me an indigestion... Sorry, An FM2 cannot use a TTL flash system because of the ISO hot shoe. The only non auto-focus bodies accepting TTL flashes are FE2, FA and FG. The other like FM, FE, FG20 accepts only manual and auto flashes. You only can use a manual or auto Flash like a lot of SB's can do or a Vivitar 283 or 285 (the best for the money in this case) or any other auto flash. Choose one with a lot of apertures range (4 is a good choice) and manual power range like 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 or 1/256 of full power. Vivitar 285 with it's accessories is a very good choice. Please, don't worry about a non TTL flash body, you can have very nice pics with a FM2, FM or FE (and the golden oldies also). Most of the work can be made in auto mode. The only work a manual or auto flash can do is macro if you don't have a flashmeter. Try to put 200 ISO on your flash for a 100 ISO film in your body for fill in. It works fine and you can adjust as you like. Hope this helps. Fabrice. *************************************************** Fabrice Joly 17 rue du General Gouraud 69008 Lyon - France Tel/Fax : 33 (0)4 72 72 92 15 ***************************************************
